Basil Hayden Toast

Oh Lord please don't burn us don't kill or toast your flock. Don't put us on the barbecue or simmer us in stock. Don't bake or baste or boil us or stir-fry us in a wok. It’s better than their “subtle smoke” whiskey, but still not great. But what you would expect since they use rice instead of corn in their mash, and i guess they try to hide it by toasting the barrels to give it a less harsh smoke flavor. Rice n smoke…mmmmm no.

Light, sweet nose with a pleasant toasted, woody flavor hinting at notes of orange and spice - nutmeg. Light, lingering finish. Very enjoyable!
